Hello and happy Monday! I took the day off work because I had a wisdom tooth pulled this morning. I survived! It’s been a fun few weeks post-100 (aside from the tooth thing). I’m feeling decently recovered and have started doing some light cardio again and even did a very light lift last night. I’m excited to slowly get back to things!
As part of that, I did not one but TWO coffeeneuring rides this weekend with Patrick! I’m hopeful to get another two in this week. My hot take: the coffee in NOVA is just not that good. Austin really spoiled us with its excellent coffee scene! Anyway, here’s my updates from the last three coffeeneuring rides I’ve done.
Ride #2 – Best Buns in Shirlington
I actually did this ride by myself the morning before we drove to Fayetteville for my race. It was a nice way to get the nerves out and shake out my legs before a long drive. It wasn’t a very long ride, and the coffee was only fine, but the breakfast sandwich was delicious!
Ride #3 – Northside Social Falls Church
Patrick and I did this together on Saturday and it was lovely! I got a pumpkin chocolate chip muffin and Patrick had a brown sugar coffee cake.
Our coffees were served in real mugs, which I love! The weather was perfect for a coffee ride, too. The way out to Falls Church felt hard because of a headwind but we flew back home.
Ride #4 – Warp Zone
On Sunday, Patrick and I had a fun day full of errands and activity, including another coffee ride! We went to Warp Zone, a small coffee bar inside of an arcade themed bar. Again, perfect weather for this. The coffee was really not good, but I liked my little pumpkin tart! We decided to make it a loop and took the longer, more scenic way home.
I think we’re going to Richmond this weekend to spectate the marathon, so I might bring my bike for a Richmond edition of coffeeneuring! It’s been so fun to take up cycling again, even if the rides are all relatively brief.
Here’s to four more coffee rides!
Love,
JN
